System and method for speech therapy
The present disclosure relates to speech therapy and voice training methods. A system is provided which utilizes tonal and rhythm visualization components to allow a person to “see” their words as they attempt to improve or regain their ability to speak clearly. The system is also applicable to vocal music instruction and allows students improve their singing abilities by responding to visual feedback which incorporates both color and shape. The system may comprise a step-by-step instruction method, live performance abilities, and recording and playback features. Certain embodiments incorporate statistical analysis of student progress, remote access for teacher consultation, and video games for enhancing student interest.

Method for utilizing oral movement and related events
InactiveUS6971993B2Improve mobilityStammering correctionPerson identificationLoudspeakerVoice assessment
A method for utilizing oral movements is used in speech assessment, speech therapy, language development, and controlling external devices. A device is used which includes a sensor plate having sensors to detect contact of the tongue with the sensor plate. One aspect of the invention allows viewing representations of contact of the tongue and palate during speech and comparing the representations with model representations displayed in a split screen fashion. The model representations may be generated by another speaker utilizing a sensor plate or by computer generated representations which have been electronically stored. The representations may be analyzed to assess speech proficiency and the model may be mimicked for speech enhancement.

Real time voice analysis and method for providing speech therapy
InactiveUS20070168187A1Easy to learnEasy to carrySpeech analysisElectrical appliancesData elementFormant
A method (196) for providing speech therapy to a learner (30) utilizes a formant estimation and visualization process (28) executable on a computing system (26). The method (196) calls for receiving a speech signal (35) from the learner (30) at an audio input (34) of the computing system (26) and estimating first and second formants (136, 138) of the speech signal (35). A target (94) is incorporated into a vowel chart (70) on a display (38) of the computing system (26). The target (70) characterizes an ideal pronunciation of the speech signal (35). A data element (134) of a relationship between the first and second formants (136, 138) is incorporated into the vowel chart (76) on the display (38). The data element (134) is compared with the target (70) to visualize an accuracy of the speech signal (35) relative to the ideal pronunciation of the speech signal (35).

An improved stuttering treatment program provides for a multi dimensional diagnostic procedure for identifying the problems associated with stuttering. A simultaneous attitude modification phase and a speech fluency enhancing techniques phase define a supervised, hands-on exercise portion of the program which is intended to advance the level of speech of a stutter afflicted person to speech fluency. Upon completion of attitude modification and speech fluency enhancing exercises, which raises the patient to speech fluency, a self-discipline phase of the program is provided where the patient supervises himself during speech exercising, monitors and analyzes exercise effect and reports his analysis to speech professionals. The self-supervised exercise is up-dated and communicated to the patient, for preventive maintenance of speech fluency.

Automatic assessment of phonological processes
ActiveUS7302389B2Reduce needSpeech recognitionTeaching apparatusSystem identificationAlternative transcription
A computer-based system generates alternative phonetic transcriptions for a target word or phrase corresponding to specific phonological processes that replace individual phonemes or clusters of two or more phonemes with replacement phonemes. The system compares a user's speech with a list of possible transcriptions that includes the base (i.e., correct) transcription of the test target as well as the different alternative transcriptions, to identify the transcription that best matches the user's. In a speech therapy application, the system identifies the phonological process(es), if any, associated with the user's speech and generates statistics over multiple test targets that can be used to diagnose the user's specific phonological disorders. The system can also be implemented in other contexts such as foreign language instruction and automated attendant applications to cover a wide variety and range of accents and / or phonological disorders.

Providing speech therapy by quantifying pronunciation accuracy of speech signals
InactiveUS20090138270A1Quantization accuracySpeech analysisTeaching apparatusSpeech soundComputing systems
The provision of speech therapy to a learner (76) entails receiving a speech signal (156) from the learner (76) at a computing system (24). The speech signal (156) corresponds to an utterance (116) made by the learner (76). A set of parameters (166) is ascertained from the speech signal (156). The parameters (166) represent a contact pattern (52) between a tongue and palate of the learner (156) during the utterance (116). For each parameter in the set of parameters (166), a deviation measure (188) is calculated relative to a corresponding parameter from a set of normative parameters (138) characterizing an ideal pronunciation of the utterance (116). An accuracy score (56) for the utterance (116), relative to its ideal pronunciation, is generated from the deviation measure (188). The accuracy score (56) is provided to the learner (76) to visualize accuracy of the utterance (116) relative to its ideal pronunciation.

Intonation transformation for speech therapy and the like
ActiveUS7373294B2Emphasize correct pronunciationBroaden applicationSpeech analysisTime domainHarmonic
The intonation of speech is modified by an appropriate combination of resampling and time-domain harmonic scaling. Resampling increases (upsampling) or decreases (downsampling) the number of data points in a signal. Harmonic scaling adds or removes pitch cycles to or from a signal. The pitch of a speech signal can be increased by combining downsampling with harmonic scaling that adds an appropriate number of pitch cycles. Alternatively, pitch can be decreased by combining upsampling with harmonic scaling that removes an appropriate number of pitch cycles. The present invention can be implemented in an automated speech-therapy tool that is able to modify the intonation of prerecorded reference speech signals for playback to a user to emphasize the correct pronunciation by increasing the pitch of selected portions of words or phrases that the user had previously mispronounced.

Speech therapy system and method with loudness alerts
A speech therapy system includes a portable voice-monitoring assembly with a voice-sensing first subassembly and a loudness-alert-producing second subassembly. The second subassembly (e.g., a microcontroller-outfitted electronic circuit) produces loudness alerts using a selected one of multiple loudness alert types to better aid the user keep speech characteristics (e.g., speech volume) within a specified range of acceptable voicing. Preferably, the second subassembly records a USAGE TIME parameter, and changes the loudness alert type if the USAGE TIME parameter exceeds a specified value. Preferably, the second subassembly records an EFFECTIVENESS parameter, based upon the duration of use required before the user adjusts their speech to acceptable voicing, and changes the loudness alert type if the EFFECTIVENESS parameter falls below a specified value. Preferably, alerts are included to indicated when voicing levels exceed user-inputted maximum and minimum levels. The methodology of the present invention proceeds accordingly.
